‘SNL’ Cold Open: Team Harris and Trump Face Off in Hilarious Family Feud
Last night’s "Saturday Night Live" cold open took a creative twist, pitting former President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris in a spoof of Family Feud . The sketch, filled with sharp political satire and some absurd humor, was an instant hit, giving fans a good laugh while poking fun at the characters that dominate U.S. politics.

The showdown opened with Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, waiting for his wife, Melania, to join him on his team. But, as has been the case in recent months on the campaign trail, she was nowhere to be found. Filling in for her absence was Trump's eldest son, Don Jr. (played by Mikey Day), though the former president hardly acknowledged him, leading to some funny awkwardness. On the other side, Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris entered with confidence, flashing her signature wide grin. The contest between the two teams was set, and the comedic chaos began.
One of the funniest moments came when Trump struggled to answer the question, “Name something you keep in your glove compartment.” In classic SNL fashion, Trump’s response spiraled into a bizarre, rambling monologue that made little sense. Trump attempted to weave random topics together, touching on everything from Jerry Seinfeld’s jeans to immigrants, much to the audience’s delight. By the end, his off-topic answer led to a big red “X” on the board, signaling a total failure—but not without tons of laughs along the way.
Harris had her own moment when she was asked the same question. She launched into an exaggerated story about her upbringing, stretching it out so long that even the host had to beg her to hurry up. When she finally answered with “a big ol’ Glock,” it was both unexpected and hilarious. Doug Emhoff, her supportive husband, portrayed by Andy Samberg, enthusiastically backed her up, repeating the answer in hopes of winning. This dynamic between Harris and her overly enthusiastic husband added another layer of humor to the scene.
Not to be left out, Dana Carvey made a hilarious return as President Joe Biden, stealing the spotlight with his classic “Bidenisms.” When it was Biden’s turn to respond to the glove compartment question, he confidently said, “I’d like to buy a vowel,” turning the game into a nonsensical Wheel of Fortune moment. The absurdity continued as Biden called the host “Conan” and threatened to give Trump a “knuckle sandwich,” drawing big laughs.
As the skit wound down, it was clear that the combination of these larger-than-life political figures, reimagined through SNL’s satirical lens, made for a fantastic parody. The exaggerated impressions of Trump, Harris, and Biden played off each other perfectly, making the sketch feel like an extended joke that kept on delivering. The closing moments saw a bewildered audience and a satisfied Harris team, wrapping up another brilliant night of political humor on SNL.
